Hey I have an R32 GTS-T Series 2 M Spec and mine cut out while driving sometimes..... when it cut out there was nothing like the engine was dead then it would come back on and be normal like nothing happened turned out to be my car battery it didnt have enough charge in it...It got to the point where the starter motor could start my car but if i put my car stereo on the car would lose power bigtime so guess there wasnt enough power to run the fuel pump properly...I never boosted it when it was doing this as detonation was around the corner with the pump not working properly. Hope this helps as since getting a new battery its never played up, could be car alarm too. Cheers

Hi, i think i might have the same issue being discussed in this thread. It's started happening in the last few weeks. Only happened on three occasions so far, but yesterday was the worst. From stand still i would drive off slowly, but immediately when i try to rev it a bit, it feels like the engine was cutting in and out, struggling to turn over. I immediately pull over and leave it to idle for a minute, then it was fine to drive off.

I'm bit scared to drive it as i don't want to cause further possible damage.

I have this exact same problem too, Zoe cuts out at about 6500rpm which is really annoying.... and sometimes when i pull up at a set of lights the revs will drop and she'll stall. I always look after the engine and I recently replaced the coils and plugs so i knew it wasn't that, i thought it was the turbo because it's what, 20-something years old now, so i took it to precision turbo and had it rebuilt & high flowed for $1350, ........but still it cut out! epic fail! but it does have alot more power now, i thought i'd have a look on here before i went throwing more money around, so tomorrow i'm gona try this contact cleaner for the AFM and if it doesn't work i'll replace it, thanks for the heads up about it, much appriciated (^_^!)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
